Windows
There is a house I daily pass
With finger marks on the window glass.
(Shadows of moments happily whiled
Away in the sun by a little child.)
The wide beveled panes next door to it are
Curtained and free of blemish, or scar.
If choice were given to any, who
Would waver a moment between the two?
For as fast as it's smudged, a mother then
May clean a glass til it shines again.
But none may burnish to brighter glints
Panes never soiled by small hand prints.

This may be the most beautiful tree ever. It is most certainly the most lovely of photos.
Catching up. It's nice to be back!`
Your tree is gorgeous! I know because I sat beside it just a few days ago! When I pulled up in front of your house and saw your tree through the window I could hardly wait to see it upclose. It's wonderful!

A beautiful poem which gives one much to think about. I would take the tiny finger streaks any day! I think the verse applies not only to children, but our pets. The outside of my sliding door is so hard to keep clean! There are schnauzer nose prints in a streaked line at nose height!
Beautiful tree! I believe in Christmas! May it bring you much joy.

What a beautiful poem -- and photo! I love the idea of taking a Christmas tree photo from the outside looking in!
I just love looking at Christmas trees through windows! There's an building near us with three floors and bay windows - and on each floor in the window is a beautiful tree.
Thank you for the beautiful poem!
So much joy!
